nice idea, but not every people would understand this, except an ex-con?
"to touch your client is to touch their heart"
How long were you in for?
20 yearrs only raped 15 times
Hmm, no ex-cons aside I think alot of people would.

I think "soap on a rope" and "don't drop the soap" have entered the popular lexicon. I don't think you need to have actually gone to prison to get the reference.
:D
~~be cool eh!~~
~~this paranoid survived!~~
with so many other charities out there i can't see anyone having symathy for cons
Very clever.

Ambient.
Yeah, but where exactly?
Actually, any sidewalk in West Village would be a riot! Guys will be picking it up and saying to themselves "and why not?" :o
This is not an ambient. This is an idea.
So easy to pretend that an idea is an ambiant.
when i first saw the thumbnail i thought this would be an ambient for a gay club or so.

I don't think it needs the 'what if it happened to you?' line.
Works better with just the web address.

I agree. But I ask myself: What can they do about it?
i agree as well. The line doesn't work. If they've got people bending over on the street to pick up the soap, they need a message like: Look out behind you, or something that takes into account the fact that they've got you bent over.
And the other question is - what the hell am I supposed to do about stopping prison rape?
As the great Ted Royer said: If you are going to make a scum ad, make it great.
This is a very bad ad, even if the brief, the client and the problem were real.
...
Is this for real? Does it really exist? I mean, you don´t go to jail thinking
"oh, at least i can rape some dudes in there".
I don't think I would care picking a soap off the street, just as I won't pick up cigerette boxes from the street.

Prison = Soap = Thousand times.
Prison = Soap = Thousand times.
that's it? and whats the call to action? or it doesnt need any?
end of joy, enjoy
Is this a huge problem we face? I see how Pollution, Hunger, AIDS, Cancer, Global Warming, Animal Extinctiion, Drugs and probably about 200 other charities could directly affect my everyday life. Prison rape on the other hand, who really gives an ass-stretched sh*t?
really???????
surly creative, I think prison rape is as bad as the other problems you have mention. Don't
not forget that there is a possibility of having innocent people or mistaken identity in the prison,
also for the fact that someone is in prison does make such person a total write off. it is enough
emotional truama to be in prison, to be raped in prison would be total emotional death. I think the
issue needs to be addressed.Note I'm not an excon and I don't have any family that is, or any close
pal but you know,it could you or even me. well i think the message on the soap says it all.
what's the emoticon for rolling one's eyes?

Nice idea but exactly the same concept as the campaign for the Gay Pride in Sao Paulo : http://lalbumnpo.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/gay-pride-a-sao-paulo/

I think this is horribly clichéd. The "bar of soap" has become such a staple in comedy and jokes that I doubt it's an effective way of turning peoples attention to the - very serious, and very common - problem of sexual violence in prisons.
